DANONE SOUTHERN AFRICA’s Post

Excited to share that I've successfully graduated 🎓 from the first ever cohort of #EngineeringPossibilities at Unilever, a learning initiative led by Unilever Pakistan. This comprehensive program encompassed essential modules in Supply Chain Fundamentals, Technical Skills, and Soft Skills Sessions, providing me with a robust foundation for future endeavors. #unilever #engineering #innovativesolutions #supplychain  

I can't believe it's already time for the next batch. I remember that nearly a year ago, I received the biggest opportunity of my life and made the toughest decision. Ever since then, I have experienced significant personal growth while learning every day. Now, it's time for me to invite you to join us on our journey towards the future of Dairy 🐄 .   The application for the Production Management Graduate Programme (PMGP) by Arla Foods is open now (Deadline 21 January) ⏳ .   It's a 2-year programme, designed to prepare the future leaders in the area of Supply Chain. During this 2-year, you will go through lots of exciting experiences which will prepare you to take leadership roles in future.   The programme offers: **3 rotations in 2 different European dairy sites. **Experience to manage exciting projects during first 2 rotations. **Team leader experience: managing a team during the third rotation. **4 training weeks in different locations. **A lot of opportunities for personal development.   My story 😊 : After completing my MSc. in Dairy Science, I joined Arla Foods as a Production Management Graduate batch 2023, and it was a perfect fit. I started in Aarhus, Denmark, where our first training week, "We are Arla," took place. The focus was on learning more about the company and ourselves. Then, I moved to my home site, Westbury Dairy, in the UK, where I am currently engaged in a sustainability project. By participating in this project, I am learning about the site, stakeholder management, and, more importantly, trying to contribute to Arla's ambitious sustainability goals. In the meantime, my second rotation has been planned, and I am all set to go to Nr. Vium Dairy, Denmark, in March 2024, where I will be working on another exciting project on digitalization. Like the first rotation, the second rotation will also last for 6 months. During the second rotation, our "Engage" training week will take place in Dusseldorf, Germany, in April. Finally, after the second rotation, I will return to Westbury in a team lead role for a year.

[Danone DSTAR Induction Week] The Danone DSTAR Induction Week is finally over. During the week, I took part in a thorough program that helped me prepare well for my new job. I can't wait to use what I've learned and gotten better at over the past week! The best part was the thorough study of Danone's culture and business processes. I looked into the company's core ideals, HOPE and CACA, which make up its unique way of doing business. Knowing how Danone's business works in many ways, such as its manufacturing, supply chain, and sales strategies, has helped me organize my projects well. The Insight Discovery lesson helped me become a better communicator by showing me how different colors represent different personality types. Also, the Data Analytics and Project Management Training helped me get better at managing things in the real working environment. I learned how to use Microsoft Excel to clean up data and make reports, and I also learned how to plan and run projects well. There's no doubt that learning was a big part of this induction week, but making friends was just as important. That's why I'm very glad to be able to complete this induction week and met new friends that feels like a family and very eager to continue my journey with Danone! #GrowWithDanone #DSTAR2023 #DanoneIndonesiaxKampusMerdeka #InductionWeek #MSIBBatch5

During my time at the Coca-Cola Zamboanga plant, I had the privilege to explore various departments, each playing a crucial role in the company's operations. My journey began at the Safety department, where I learned the paramount importance of maintaining a safe working environment. The comprehensive safety protocols and the culture of prioritizing employee well-being left a lasting impression on me. It became clear that Coca-Cola values its employees as its most important asset. Next, at the Wastewater Treatment Facility, I observed the company's dedication to environmental sustainability. The advanced techniques employed to treat wastewater before releasing it back into the environment demonstrated Coca-Cola’s responsibility towards minimizing its ecological footprint. This experience highlighted the significance of sustainable practices in the industrial sector. In the Quality Assurance department, I was introduced to the rigorous testing and verification processes that ensure every product that leaves the plant is of the highest quality. The attention to detail and the continuous improvement mindset were inspiring, emphasizing the company’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Finally, at the Water Treatment Facility, I witnessed the meticulous process of ensuring that the water used in our beverages meets the highest standards of purity. This experience underscored the importance of quality control and the commitment Coca-Cola has towards delivering safe and refreshing products. My journey at Coca-Cola has been more than just an internship; it has been a transformative experience that has broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of what it takes to be a part of a world-class organization. I have seen firsthand the dedication, passion, and integrity that drive Coca-Cola's success. This experience has taught me that true excellence is achieved through a combination of innovation, sustainability, quality, and safety. It has also shown me the power of a cohesive team working towards a common goal. As I move forward in my career, I will carry these lessons with me, striving to apply them in all my endeavors. To my mentors and colleagues at Coca-Cola, thank you for the invaluable insights and the warm welcome. Your guidance has been instrumental in shaping my professional journey. To my fellow interns and future employees, embrace every opportunity to learn and grow. Remember that every task, no matter how small, contributes to the bigger picture. Be curious, be diligent, and always strive for excellence. Coca-Cola has not only quenched my thirst for knowledge but has also instilled in me a profound appreciation for the values that make a company truly great. Here’s to a future where we continue to innovate, inspire, and impact the world positively. #LifeAtCoke #ThirstForMore #CocaColaSIP

I am delighted to graduate my integrated Masters in Manufacturing Engineering with First Class Honours with a Diploma in Industrial Studies from Loughborough University. Thank you to all my friends, family, tutors, supervisors and managers who have supported me through my studies and placement year at PepsiCo. 5 years ago, I was disappointed that I underachieved in my A-levels as I did not make the entry requirement grades for this degree, which was my insurance choice. I will be forever grateful that Loughborough University kindly offered me a place regardless of my grades because since then I have met incredible people and taken advantage of its excellent teaching. I developed from initially feeling as if I did not belong in Engineering or at University, to now feeling proud to have passed each academic year with a 1st class and won awards for highest end-of-year results in Manufacturing twice. 5 years on, I wouldn't be too hard on my 18-year-old self for my poor understanding of Astronomy and quarks. The learning never stops. I am looking forward to next applying my degree and developing skills further on the KraftHeinz Global Manufacturing Trainee program. In reflection of the past 5 years, my main advice for anyone studying would be to take care of your health and well-being as it can really make a difference in your productivity. This includes checking your posture and eyes (there will be a lot of staring at screens👀), as well as caring for your mental well-being: •Find out what works for you when feeling exhausted, stressed and anxious. •If you think you could benefit from a nap, don't feel ashamed to take a nap. •Try join a club or society as it's a great way to practice time management/ work-life balance, as well as meet people with common interests and different experiences outside of your degree.

Thrilled to announce that I've earned my e-learning certificate from Nestle! 🎓 Grateful for the opportunity to enhance my skills with such a prestigious organization. Ready to leverage this knowledge to drive innovation and growth in my career journey. #Nestle #eLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment"

“The horizon of knowledge can be widened when theory matches with practical.” Theoretical knowledge alone cannot pave the path to a successful business career. An industrial visit serves as a crucial opportunity to gain insights into the actual operations of companies. With these objectives in mind, GNIOT Institute of Professional Studies organized an industrial visit for its BBA students at The Moon Beverages, a franchise bottler for industry leader Coca-Cola. The exposure provided them with a comprehensive understanding of Coca-Cola's historical journey and innovative endeavors. The visit uncovered various aspects that contribute to Coca-Cola's status as one of the world's top ten employers, all while prioritizing the well-being and hygiene of its consumers. During these visits, students become familiar with the intricacies of machinery, the logistics of goods distribution, and the organizational policies. Such experiences bridge the gap between the academic and industrial realms, arming students with the skills needed to navigate external and internal challenges. 🌐 Read more: https://lnkd.in/d-HVG8vF 📞 Toll-Free No.: 18002746969 #IndustrialVisitInsights #GNIOT #GIPS #BridgingKnowledgeGap #GNIOTIndustrialTour #CocaColaExposure #LearningFromIndustry #PracticalKnowledge #BBAInsights #RealWorldLearning #CocaColaJourney #BBAIndustrialVisit
